Abstract

Enlarged vestibular aqueduct syndrome (EVAS) is well known congenital bony ear anomaly. It's audiologic symptoms and radiological findings are reported in many literatures. However vestibular symptoms of EVAS are rarely reported. A patient with right EVAS developed sudden spinning vertigo on casual observation. He is diagnosed as bilateral benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and recovered by canal repositioning maneuver. We present this case with reviews of previous literatures.
